Fresh Cool Drinks is absolutely a madison staple and it must be visited. Every spring roll I've ever gotten there has been phenomenal, and the owners who work at the truck are absolutely amazing and some of the sweetest people I've met. They always work extremely hard, no matter the weather, and the lines can stretch for almost half a block and they still manage to keep up their product and quality. Everyone in Madison knows how great Fresh Cool Drinks is, and they deserve all the love that they receive. read more

Fresh Cool Drinks - Shrimp spring roll and Vietnamese iced coffee! - Thai Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

The best food cart in Madison--hands down. No matter how long the line is, I'm standing in it. Every. Time. always go for the medium-spice avocado chicken spring roll (no cabbage)--fresh, flavorful, and made to order. Pair it with the mango + papaya smoothie, and it's a whole experience. The ingredients? Always fresh. The service? Always fantastic. And the ambience? Chill, upbeat, and full of community vibes--music playing, people chatting, and that happy buzz of folks who know they're about to eat something amazing. No matter where they pop up in Madison, I will find them. Because yes--they're just that good. read more

Everyday in Library Mall, this food truck had the longest queue. Finally I decided to take time, stand in a long queue and get lunch from here. I was in queue for 30 minutes. I got a strawberry banana avocado shake, and got it super sized to jumbo. After all it was just an extra dollar to super size it. Jumbo was a really big size drink. And it was an excellent drink. For entree I went for an avocado chicken spring roll and requested it be made spicy. The spring roll was tasty and was really big. For the price, food is a bargain here. read more

Please come by if you ever stop by University of Wisconsin, or in Madison. Got an avacado, mango, coconut smoothie, and pork spring roll. The spring roll, the size of a burrito, and larger then my head. Different then a traditional spring roll, one being size, another having additions such as avocado which I believe definitely enhanced my experience. Smoothie was light and creamy. It was about $6 which is pretty standard pricing I see for smoothies. Tasted tropical and decadent all at the same time. Very refreshing especially with the summer heat. The stand was being run by one person hand making everything. So a bit of a wait once a line starts but worth the wait. And the value was great. Paid less ~13 and was too full to even finish everything. read more

I really enjoyed the smoothie from here, however, I know the popular items are the spring rolls. Will definitely go back again and try the spring rolls. read more

My chicken roll was very good I am full and satisfied. The woman is very very nice and got my roll very fast. Location is spot on it was perfect with all the other food trucks. Best part was it was all super healthy and fresh ingredients. I will be back to try a few more! I loved the sign on the food truck it looked pretty decorative. read more

On this #ThankYouThursday, I want to give a huge shoutout to my favorite food cart in Madison. I've been buying their smoothies and spring rolls for the last 12 years, and they're still the best in town. The fruit is always fresh, the portions are HUGE, and they're super cheap too. I honestly don't know how they make a profit, especially with today's inflation. My personal favorite is the strawberry, peach, and mango smoothie. Even my partner, who dislikes drinking juice or anything other than water, is a big fan! read more

Best deal ever for spring rolls. They are huge and only $3.50 for a roll! Many options to choose from, but I picked the avocado shrimp roll. There is plenty of shrimp in the roll with lots of cabbage, cucumbers, noodles, avocados and a peanut sauce inside. The best part is that you can choose the level of spice in your peanut sauce: spicy, medium, or mild. I went with medium and there is definitely a little kick to it. There was a little too much sauce in the roll for me, but that was my fault, I should have asked for it on the side and just dipped the roll in it. I only got a spring roll this time, but the smoothies are also great. Everything tastes fresh. It's a great option for summer food. read more

Fresh Cool Drinks - Avocado shrimp spring roll - Thai Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

The best. Do not settled for anything other then Fresh Cool Drinks! (Natural juices is an imitator!) read more

I cannot recommend this food truck enough!! Tuy is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and she is so incredibly hard working. I get the tofu avocado spring roll at LEAST twice a week and it is literally the size of my head for $4.00. I never really liked spring rolls before but had heard raving reviews from her stand, so one day I was craving a smoothie and decided to go out on a limb and order the tofu avocado in addition to the smoothie. I absolutely fell in love that day and have been going back ever since! The large smoothie is HUGE and also $4.00, not to mention the incredibly large menu to choose from including smoothie flavors, juices, and spring rolls. There is always a long line but Tuy makes the food so fast and accepts Venmo which is very convenient, and all of her produce and meat is extremely fresh! Overall such an amazing experience every time. read more

New owner as of 2022!! So the original Vietnamese family (Tran) who owned and operated this food truck for the last decade sold it to one of their employees, who now run the truck. But the original family still operates a food truck under the name Natural Juice Smoothies, which never has a line, because no one knows that she's the original owner. Same recipes for smoothies and spring rolls. read more

The best find in the Madison area for smoothies. The women that runs this cart is an absolute treasure. Don't forget to try the food offerings! read more

Best spring rolls in the city, and I say that having spent several months in Thailand

I think I'm obsessed. I've made it a Saturday Farmers Market tradition to grab a smoothie and a spring roll then leisurely peruse the stalls. Everything is amazing- I've had the avocado mango peach smoothie and the avocado carrot coconut smoothie. Both of which were delicious, I was admittedly a little skeptical about how the later would taste because I love fruit smoothies but I was very pleasantly surprised. As for the spring rolls, a picture is worth a thousand words. They are massive and filled with super fresh delicious ingredients. She doesn't skimp on the avocado or try to fill it with excessive amounts of rice noodles. Be prepared to wait if you come around lunch time because there will be a line but it is oh so worth it. read more

Fresh Cool Drinks - Avocado carrot coconut smoothie and shrimp avocado spring roll - Thai Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

This food cart is absolutely adorable. I found it at the East side farmers market, but I've seen it around the Capitol square as well. It's painted green with some other bright, funky colors. It offers MULTIPLE drink options (seriously a lot of them) for a decent price. I ordered the strawberry/coconut smoothie which was refreshing and delicious. My smoothie was only $2.75 and was about a normal cup size. I can't wait to try the other flavors! They also have some food options in case you want to try those. read more

I've seen this cart on Library Mall for years, but I've never ventured to order something from them. What, spring rolls? How good could they really be? And smoothies? Nah, I want a hot lunch. What was I thinking, because this place is delicious. After hearing others rave about this place, I decided to check it out today for lunch, and I'm so glad I did because this will forever be a favorite. $3.50 for a massive fresh spring roll filled with cabbage, spinach, cucumbers, and avocado. You can add some protein to it by choosing shrimp, tofu, or chicken for the same price. When I say massive, I mean that it's burrito sized. Spring roll wrappers aren't exactly meant to hold that much liquid, so eat fast once you get going, but even if you're not speedy, the mess at the end is still totally worth the deliciousness throughout. I also find this to be a particularly awesome invention. It's a salad on the go. A few other carts also sell these gigantic spring rolls, but I really like this cart's sauce compared to a different cart. I also got a a small smoothie - mango with pineapple, and it was tasty without being overly sweet. A small smoothie with the spring roll came out to be $6.25, and it was more than enough for lunch. The only downside is the wait. She prepares your order one at a time, so spring rolls are freshly wrapped and smoothies freshly blended. read more

Delicious "burrito" take on spring rolls! Filed to the brim with lots of fresh veggies, vermicelli, your choice of protein and avocado, what's not to love? Love how fresh the veggies are and how light yet filling it is. Disclaimer: even the mild peanut sauce has a tiny bit of spice to it so maybe not the best for kids who don't tolerate any level of spice. In a time where healthy food is a craze, I enjoy this take on it. The prices are very reasonable for something so filling and fresh. Not to mention it's great (and wonderfully messy) to eat while strolling around the Farmer's Market. I'm a big fan of supporting small businesses, and I hope I can catch them around more often. read more

The super nice lady and her amazing delicious spring roll $4 only and fresh fruit juice unbelievable! I ugh w/o my money accidentally when it is finally my turn after the loooonnnnng line... she let me have them and stop by anytime later, god I love this place! I wish this small business the best! Of course everything taste so fresh so good! read more

If you are on campus and ever wondering whether it is worth it to get in the longest line in the food trucks, yes it is worth it. Tuy does amazing fresh fruit smoothies. The reason it takes so long is that she takes the time to say hello and remember you. She also makes her avocado spring rolls and smoothies to order! Oh right, I forgot. Get an avocado spring roll! For 3.50 you get a burrito sized spring roll that is filling enough in itself! My favorite is the chicken. We like this cart (along with her sister's cart Luang Prabang) so much that we asked Tuy and her sister to cater our wedding. Guess what? They made awesome food for that too. If you like massman curry or pad thai check out the cart right behind Tuy's too! read more

Love love love their food!! So fresh and cheap. Feeling healthy after eating it lol. The spicy sauce add so much favors and it tastes so good. I got the shrimp avocado roll all the time and will definitely go back when I can. But there is only one lady working in the food court so be ready to wait more than 30mins if you go at lunch time. read more

Fresh Cool Drinks - Thai Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

An ideal day, for me, goes like this: I hop on my bicycle and head out to find this food truck. I order a deliciously fresh all fruit smoothies and a spicy spring roll. I consume the delicious fruit smoothie for breakfast and put the spring roll away in my pack (for lunch!) and ride off into the sunshine. The best. This place is healthy, fresh, delicious, and CHEAP. read more

A Madison legend, you honestly can't beat it. A whole wrap for 4$? All that food and it's healthy? The best

Best dela you can get. insanely cheap and large portions. definitely fills you up. lady who owns it is super nice and friendly too.

Tuy is the bomb! Not only is her food good but she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met who truly cares for her customers! I am a HUGE fan of the spring rolls with shrimp, chicken and avocado (all rolls include cucumber, lettuce, spinach, cabbage, peanuts and sauce). I recommend getting the spicy sauce on the side with it. All the vegetables and the meats are always fresh. For only $3, this is a great, healthy lunch- but beware its pretty messy. The smoothies are great during the summer time. I trust that all the fruit is fresh and not made from juice or canned fruit. read more

This place is seriously the best. You may have to wait a couple minutes but you get your order freshly made. They make fresh fruit smoothies, my favorite being mango papaya, and they make fresh spring rolls the size of burritos, for only 3 dollars! I always get an avocado shrimp spring roll, and the best part is that the avocado is actually ripe so you're not chewing down a solid, nonmushy avocado. If you want fresh food at a great price, this is the place to be. read more

AMAZING. My friend and I come here every Tuesday and Thursday, and we're never disappointed. She always remembers us and makes conversation. I always get the tofu spring roll, which tastes amazing with any of the sauces - mild, medium, spicy, or sweet & sour. For $3.50, you get a burrito-sized spring roll that is super satisfying and filled with veggies, rice noodles, protein, sauce, and all-over goodness. If you're ever near Library Mall, visit! I promise it's worth the wait. read more

This is not a good cart to stop at if you're in a rush, but it's a campus favorite for a reason! I typically wait about 20 minutes, but when it's summer time in Madison it's not even an issue. Just gives me an excuse to people watch.She's also improved over the past couple years by now taking names instead of randomly calling out orders. The spring rolls range from only $3-4 and are SO fresh. I'm talking best spring roll of my life fresh. And they're massive! I like spice, but I will warn that the spicy spring roll really has a kick to it. Today I splurged and also got the mango tango smoothie with mango, orange juice, pineapple juice, and banana. It's one of the few places where I don't feel like I'm getting ripped off with an excessive amount of crushed ice in it. And the sizing is appropriate for the cost. If you haven't explored this food cart yet, it's an absolute must!! read more

This might be my favorite place EVER for food here in Madison. Where to start... believe the other reviews when they say these portions are GINORMOUS. A Chicken Avocado spring roll will set you back $4 (get it spicy- thank me later) but I swear there is more than enough in that thing to power a full blown car engine. Friendly owner who isn't afraid to deliver great tasting food at unbeatable prices. If you're in Madison this is a must-visit. read more

The long line is worth it. The ingredients are always fresh, and I've always been pleasantly surprised at the quality of her avocados. Sometimes the stuffing falls out of the roll while you eat it, but's that's a minor complaint. I probably come here every day. Tuy is the best and she makes the best spring rolls! (I recently tried the mango papaya smoothie and that was quite tasty too!) read more

Soooooo happy to find this! Madison's best kept secret! Looking fwd to a return visit to the area. read more

Fresh Cool Drinks - OMG!! Does NIT get any better than this!!! Amazing fresh food. Madison's best kept secret! - Thai Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Incredible value and taste - not to be missed!! The line is typically 30 minutes us but well worth it. They save well too for 24 hrs in the fridge so pro tip buy 2 and eat one later or give it to a friend. read more

Great Smoothie cart with the extra bonus of delicious affordable burrito sized spring rolls always fresh and yummy

Tsui has the most amazing cart ever! I dream about her spring rolls and carrot avocado coconut smoothies. I moved away 4 years ago but every time I get the chance to be in Madison I get her spring rolls! read more

Tsuey is the girl. Her spring rolls are an incredible deal for only $3.50 and her smoothies are the tastiest. I frequent this cart (as do many college students) about 3 times a week. I wouldn't want to support anyone else as much as I do her! read more

This is the hip place for sorority girls to get their avocado and smoothie fix, so you don't want to like it-- but it's so good (and so cheap). Get the avocado spring roll with chicken or shrimp: a gigantic burrito-sized roll for under $4. Only drawback is there's often a big line, and it moves slowly, so go in the off hours. The lady who owns the cart is so friendly. I love supporting this place-- although it doesn't seem like it needs the help. read more
